How to buy AGIX on a DEX?
Deposit your ETH into Metamask and buy AGIX on a DEX. Now that you have ETH in Bit2Me, you can exchange them for AGIX from MetaMask very easily:
- Transfer your ETH from Bit2Me to Metamask. To do this, you will have to click on the "Send" option in your Bit2Me wallet and enter the ETH wallet address in Metamask.
- Once your ETH has arrived in Metamask (this may involve paying the corresponding gas fee), you can move on to the next step.
- Connect your MetaMask wallet to a decentralized exchange (DEX) that has AGIX like PancakeSwap.
- Select ETH as payment and AGIX as the cryptocurrency you want to buy.
- Make the swap.
Why can't I swap directly from MetaMask? MetaMask's native exchange only allows swaps between cryptocurrencies that are native to the same blockchain. Therefore, as ETH and AGIX belong to two different blockchains, it is impossible to make the exchange this way and it will be necessary to go to a decentralized exchange (DEX) to make the swap.
What if AGIX is not available on a DEX?
If the token you want to buy, in this case AGIX, is not available on the DEX, you can use a blockchain scanning tool, such as Etherscan.io and search for the smart contract address of the blockchain.
In some decentralized exchanges, even if the cryptocurrency you are looking for is not listed, you will have the option to copy the smart contract address from Etherscan and paste it into the search bar to perform the swap manually.
In this case, we remind you to carefully check the addresses and be alert to possible frauds or phishing attacks.
